about

The fictional story of Esteban, the man who was good at everything, and knew it!

lyrics

Vs 1
I've been a lawyer
I've worked in a mine
I've been a bricklayer
And a nun of some kind
I've been a race driver on a race track
My names Esteban but you can call me Jack

Vs 2
I've been a jeweler for the king
A dog beautician I can also sing
I flew bombers for the RAF
Built hearing aids
For the benefit of the deaf

I'm Esteban, the Jack of all trades
And unlike you I've got talent in spades
What you learn in a month
I figure out in a day
I never specialize or win awards of any size
But my fortunes made and my bills are paid
'Cos I'm the master of none
I'm the jack of all trades

Vs 3
I've been a plumber and a speech therapist
An engineer, a zoologist
I play pro-football now and then
When I'm not I'm a doctor
Or a policeman

Ch
I'm Esteban, the Jack of all trades
And unlike you I've got talent in spades
What you learn in a month
I figure out in a day
I never specialize or win awards of any size
But my fortunes made and my bills are paid
'Cos I'm the master of none
I'm the jack of all trades

Vs 4
I’ve still got my paper round
I’ve been a wrestler and a party clown
I Keep bees to sell their honey
Been a stock broker juggling people’s money

Vs 5
I play piano in an orchestra
I've been a chimney sweep, a choreographer
I've done voice acting, been on the stage
Been a tobacconist earning minimum wage

Ch
I'm Esteban, the Jack of all trades
And unlike you I've got talent in spades
What you learn in a month
I figure out in a day
I never specialize or win awards of any size
I've been a Quaker, a baker, a candlestick maker
A wedding planner, an undertaker
But my fortunes made and my bills are paid
'Cos I'm the master of none
I'm the jack of all trades

Keep them dancing.
That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the sextet have strutted from one stage to another playing high octane gypsy swing to the party hard masses.
With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK. ... more
